ٱللَّهُ Allah ٱلَّذِى (is) the One Who رَفَعَ raised ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ the heavens بِغَيْرِ without عَمَدٍۢ pillars تَرَوْنَهَا ۖ that you see ثُمَّ then ٱسْتَوَىٰ He established عَلَى on ٱلْعَرْشِ ۖ the Throne وَسَخَّرَ and subjected ٱلشَّمْسَ the sun وَٱلْقَمَرَ ۖ and the moon كُلٌّۭ each يَجْرِى running لِأَجَلٍۢ for a term مُّسَمًّۭى ۚ appointed يُدَبِّرُ He arranges ٱلْأَمْرَ the matter يُفَصِّلُ He details ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ the Signs لَعَلَّكُم so that you may بِلِقَآءِ in the meeting رَبِّكُمْ (with) your Lord تُوقِنُونَ believe with certainty ٢

It is Allāh who erected the heavens without pillars that you [can] see; then He established Himself above the Throne and made subject the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term. He arranges [each] matter; He details the signs that you may, of the meeting with your Lord, be certain.

وَهُوَ And He ٱلَّذِى (is) the One Who مَدَّ spread ٱلْأَرْضَ the earth وَجَعَلَ and placed فِيهَا in it رَوَٰسِىَ firm mountains وَأَنْهَـٰرًۭا ۖ and rivers وَمِن and from كُلِّ all ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ (of) the fruits جَعَلَ He made فِيهَا in it زَوْجَيْنِ pairs ٱثْنَيْنِ ۖ two يُغْشِى He covers ٱلَّيْلَ the night ٱلنَّهَارَ ۚ (with) the day إِنَّ Indeed فِى in ذَٰلِكَ that لَـَٔايَـٰتٍۢ surely (are) Signs لِّقَوْمٍۢ for a people يَتَفَكَّرُونَ who ponder ٣

And it is He who spread the earth and placed therein firmly set mountains and rivers; and from all of the fruits He made therein two mates; He causes the night to cover the day. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.

وَفِى And in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth قِطَعٌۭ are tracks مُّتَجَـٰوِرَٰتٌۭ neighboring وَجَنَّـٰتٌۭ and gardens مِّنْ of أَعْنَـٰبٍۢ grapevines وَزَرْعٌۭ and crops وَنَخِيلٌۭ and date-palms صِنْوَانٌۭ trees (growing) from a single root وَغَيْرُ and not صِنْوَانٍۢ trees (growing) from a single root يُسْقَىٰ watered بِمَآءٍۢ with water وَٰحِدٍۢ one وَنُفَضِّلُ but We cause to exceed بَعْضَهَا some of them عَلَىٰ over بَعْضٍۢ others فِى in ٱلْأُكُلِ ۚ the fruit إِنَّ Indeed فِى in ذَٰلِكَ that لَـَٔايَـٰتٍۢ surely (are) Signs لِّقَوْمٍۢ for a people يَعْقِلُونَ who use reason ٤

And within the land are neighboring plots and gardens of grapevines and crops and palm trees, [growing] several from a root or otherwise, watered with one water; but We make some of them exceed others in [quality of] fruit. Indeed in that are signs for a people who reason.

۞ وَإِن And if تَعْجَبْ you (are) astonished فَعَجَبٌۭ then astonishing قَوْلُهُمْ (is) their saying أَءِذَا When كُنَّا we are تُرَٰبًا dust أَءِنَّا will we لَفِى (be) indeed, in خَلْقٍۢ a creation جَدِيدٍ ۗ new أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those ٱلَّذِينَ (are) the ones who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved بِرَبِّهِمْ ۖ in their Lord وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ and those ٱلْأَغْلَـٰلُ the iron chains فِىٓ (will be) in أَعْنَاقِهِمْ ۖ their necks وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ those أَصْحَـٰبُ (are the) companions ٱلنَّارِ ۖ (of) the Fire هُمْ they فِيهَا in it خَـٰلِدُونَ (will) abide forever ٥

And if you are astonished, [O Muḥammad] - then astonishing is their saying, "When we are dust, will we indeed be [brought] into a new creation?" Those are the ones who have disbelieved in their Lord, and those will have shackles upon their necks, and those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.
